Border to Coast has announced that its private markets programme has hit £23.2bn, in what was a year that has seen a significant expansion for the pool.
The news confirms it has successfully enabled access to its innovative programme for 17 of its partner funds – including the seven that joined the partnership at the start of April.
The boost to the £23.2bn figure in its private markets programme comes after commitments made by Border to Coast of approximately £1.1bn to infrastructure, £1.5bn to private equity, £1.7bn to private credit, and £830m to global real estate.
Drawing on the pool’s scale and strong partnerships, the programme reduces costs for partner funds by an average of 32% versus standard industry fee rates.
Border to Coast’s head of alternatives Ian Sandiford said: “Private markets continue to be an important diversifier for long-term investment strategies.
“Together, our partnership has shown how our collective scale as a pool can help build stronger ties with industry, unlock access to greater investment opportunities, and significantly cut costs.
“The programme has gone from strength to strength over the years, and we continue to build on our internal expertise to make sure we deliver additional value for Partner Funds far into the future.”
